Combination of Methods used by TCP-Activities
A set of methods was developed to categorize the kind of project work that is done in the activities. The figure shows which methods are applied how often in total (node size), and which methods were frequently applied together (edge width) by activities. The color corresponds to the different method cate-gories described in chapter.

Technology Radar for Solar Energy Buildings
The Technology Radar for Solar Energy Buildings, developed by the IEA SHC Task 66 Subtask D team under the lead of AEE INTEC, provides a comprehensive evaluation of over 50 technologies and solutions contributing to solar energy buildings. It categorizes measures into four key areas: generation, storage, thermal grids, and building & community, and assesses their readiness, market competitiveness, and potential for adoption. Among these, 24 technologies, such as PV, solar thermal, biomass boilers, PVT collectors, and low-temperature district heating grids, were highlighted as having high market relevance. The analysis considers factors like barriers to market entry, regulatory impact, and the overall value and growth potential of each solution. To support stakeholders like architects and engineers, the team is compiling detailed factsheets and will publish the findings in the 2025 report New Technologies and Components for Solar Energy Buildings.

IEA SHC Task 66: Solar Energy Buildings – Presentation of final results
IEA SHC Task 66 “Solar Energy Buildings” presented the final results of their activities at the EuroSun Conference 2024 in Limassol, Cyprus, on Tuesday, 27 August, from 11:00 to 12:30 EEST. Over three years, an international team of scientists and industry representatives collaborated on the topic “Solar Energy Buildings.” The event featured presentations by the task manager, subtask leaders, and an industry representative. Dr. Harald Drück, Manager of Task 66 from the University of Stuttgart’s IGTE, provided an overview of the project and highlighted key achievements. Subtask leaders shared summaries of their findings: Prof. Frank Späte (OTH-AW, Germany) discussed key performance indicators for assessing solar energy buildings, while Elsabet Nielsen (Technical University of Denmark) showcased demonstration projects of completed solar energy buildings. Michael Gumhalter (AEE INTEC, Austria) explored current and future technologies in the field. Additionally, Zanil Narsing from Naked Energy Ltd. (UK) presented on "Solar Energy Buildings with Advanced Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) Collectors." More details on Task 66 are available on their website: https://task66.iea-shc.org/.

Solar process heat system for Seville brewery
The solar process heating plant was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.
